Decent session. Essentially 85% for a couple/few doubles or a single in the case of the deadlift. Then played around with using flat shoes to squat in for no good reason rather than a play After got home packed then Ewan threw up getting him resday to go in the car! He'd been off and on sick for last week but thought he'd got past it. Anyways he was betteer day later but instead of an easy drive down to inlaws at night we went hit bankholiday traffic late afternoon. Ahh well we got there

Nice final real session down in Exmouth on my weekend away. Moved pretty nice actually. Deadlift particular was smoking. An old 'niggle' in my left arm has re-surfaced after moving my hands in squating a few weeks ago. Shouldn't be a problem.

All set now for BDFPA British Champs this Sunday the 7th. Squat and bench are at either just on or a tad under their very best. Whilst deadlift is strongest I have ever been. In a very good position to hit a total pb. If I can put in a strong/solid performance squating and benching then the 'game is afoot'!

Weekend after that got Faz and another lifter popping over my way for some fun. Weekend after that back into a proper cycle. More of the same tbh. Although ruminating some minorish chamnges to squat tech. Maybe maybe not :]

Thanks C. Next time I am.down Exmouth way I'll wander high and low shouting Viv!

Typically I have come down with a bug. Have felt what can only be described as hung over the last two days. Have another day to get better. Although sat win be long day spent at the meet coaching my training partner.
